torment!

I saw this movie in a communication class before, but I didn't finish it. I watched "Influence" that day, and the book mentioned "Watergate Incident", so I read it completely on youku.

It was so frustrating, it was so long. After reading it, I still haven't figured out the beginning and end of the "Watergate Incident". I also checked it on Baidu Encyclopedia, but the editing was messy and long. I gave up after watching the demo.

When the communication teacher recommended this film, he said that this is a movie worth watching countless times, and there is a very complete process of "chasing the news". Maybe my level is too low for the demo, so I can't comprehend it.

To talk about feelings, I feel that being a reporter requires an "informer", which is the so-called "deep throat". No one broke the news, it is not easy to have exclusive. In addition, being a reporter really has to do everything you can! To convince others to tell you what you know, and to ask people who don't want to help you, feels a little like being a detective.

Therefore, it is still necessary to network, to be good at mingling with anyone, to please the other party, and let them help you. It seems that being a reporter requires not only being able to write, but also knowing the world, preferably a little bit of psychology.

Being able to do things is one aspect, but also being a person. In this regard, Lao Wei and Lao hooligans are all role models worthy of my learning.
